Quiet, we’re at Stanford!

I don’t always have a photographer at my beck and call, but luckily I had an equally excited friend to have a photoshoot. One day in April we headed out to the incredibly beautiful Stanford University campus before Megan moved back to Canada, and I went on my mini vacation to Newfoundland. It was such a fun day hanging out with her, and trying different poses – and getting really excited about snagging a good shot, squealing then high fiving one another, until we realized how loud we were being. We saw a ton of those fancy lookin’ ivy league male students look out the window at us wondering WTF we were doing. That’s when we raced away, changed into another outfit and started all over again. In another location on the campus ;) You can see Megan’s photos here.

I swear this part of campus was in movies. I knew I recognized these arches even before seeing them in person. But from where?? Does anyone know if it’s ever been in the hollywood movies?

Megan and I snuck into one of the buildings in campus to use the bathrooms. Hey if they’re not meant to be used, they would’ve locked the main doors am I right? There, we re-applied our lipglosses, brushed our hair and talked how amazing it would be to run into James Franco. He’s from Palo Alto originally. I doubt he’d be hanging around Stanford Campus during the middle of a day at University’s year end. Never know though! Unfortunately we didn’t spot him.

This area above seemed like a communal area. Surprised I snagged this shot without anyone in it. It’s the Memorial Court part of Stanford Campus. So many archways, so many pretty photo op’s.

Hey, gotta keep in those awkward bloopers am I right? I crack up every time I see my hilarious facial expressions and poses.

Can’t do a post talking about one of my favourite people and not include her pretty face! This is Megan in case you guys haven’t visited her awesome blog yet. Go go!

Hi Nancy! I love that you did this. I forget that we have some amazing universities nearby in the Bay that I should totally check out. Your photos are lovely, especially the bloopers! :)Ashley @ A Lady Goes West recently posted..A mid-year blog and goals check-in for 2015

@Ashley @ A Lady Goes West: Thanks Ashley! Yeah, I knew about this place only a few weeks before I decided to go there for the OOTD pics. I saw it on my friend’s FB wall and I had to ask where the heck her picture was taken (just under the arches, so I didn’t realize it was Stanford — omg such a pretty university!), and I didn’t want to just take pictures with no one in them, so we did outfit day pics :)Nancy recently posted..Quiet, we’re at Stanford!

I recognize those arches as well but I can’t quite put a finger on where I recognize them from! They’ve got to be from some college movie that I’ve seen!Michelle @ Dishes and Dust Bunnies recently posted..Easy Chicken Fajitas

That outfit is so my style! Love it! We got to visit Yale…for like an hour so not much lol…but the buildings are beautiful. Stanford looks very pretty too! IDK if it’s been in movies, but it does look familiar.Christy Maurer recently posted..Wedding Gifts from GiftsForYouNow.com

Awe yay! One of my fave posts. (Haha, totally being biased there.) I’m so happy to hear you went and that you guys had fun! Did you get a chance to view the inside of Memorial Church? It’s gorgeous inside! If not, more reason for another visit back to Stanford!

Stanford is such a beautiful place! We are very fortunate to live close by here in the San Francisco Bay Area. By the way, I had not idea that JC Penney even made skinny jeans! Looks like I’m headed over there this week to check them out for myself.
